Large A goodnight kiss is sweet poison

※Warning! Some images contain grotesque elements.



Sometimes I buy doll accessories without thinking at all about how to coordinate them or how to use them—just because I like them... Actually, I do that quite often haha

Hmm, it's so sweet it's making my teeth and heart rot away. I think this interpretation is a much better piece than my photo, haha. Actually, I was just trying out a new accessory I got, thought ‘Ah, I kinda like this combo,’ and went out to shoot without any plan, then made up poses on the spot. So when I saw the finished scene, all I had were fragmented thoughts like 'an invitation from the night, a quiet farewell, a final goodnight kiss...' XºD But yeah, thanks to that, several new ideas are flashing through my mind. I sometimes call her ‘my Persephone, and also Hades and Demeter.’ Because her greatest charm is the balance of life and death melted into her face. I hope that someday, inspired by this comment, I can take another new photo.
By the way, this morning I listened to Tom Lehrer's song “I Hold Your Hand in Mine” on my way to work. Well, love and ruin are always such a beautiful pair

I'm glad you like the photo! ! I'm especially happy that the second photo from the bottom is included in the best photos you selected—it's one of my favorites too. I couldn't find a retouch that truly resonated, so I experimented with various color tones. Ultimately, the mysterious yet eerie image created by adding a blue tint seemed to perfectly complement those ice-pale hands. Nighttime outdoor shoots are a bit limiting in terms of backgrounds (since I don't carry extra lighting, I can only shoot where streetlights are hhh), but they still create an atmosphere I absolutely can't give up

I am always grateful as well. It gives me so much strength when taking photos feels like a chore UvU
